Obviously, what I write is mine, and I retain all copyrights;  however, I am not selfish, so if you want to send what I've written to others, please do, and return comments.  I like to give pleasure, but I also want to improve the effect of my writing.  I also enjoy reciprocity, so if you are an artist and want to create images consistent with my stories, please attach them, and designate whether they are for me, or for possible publication.  On the other hand, any commercial use without my express written permission would be a violation of my copyright.

People openly eat, play, and trade information about life, but not about sex; why? This novel illustrates the cloaked sexual experiences that creep into the life of many young girls, and young boys, but those beginnings and their experiences should not have to be a secret . . . especially not a secret "shame".  

The story is fictional but echoes truth.  The location and the people could be anywhere, but are likely everywhere.  Life is life, whether we hide it in silence or fiction or this novel.

This story and the chapters that may come are fueled by a lifetime of personal and shared REAL experiences, but whether I write/share them depends on those who read and respond.  Born in a foreign country, educated "everywhere", but raised in Hong Kong, I think I am more Chinese than my mother, who ran off with my father when she was a teenager.  My motivation for writing is to help enlarge the world of acceptable sexual conversation and conduct so that no one need be afraid of consensual sex or erotic art on any level.
